Q: What if husband son is 18 and he has been living in his own apartment.. can his mother still get child support for him..
A: Yes. Child support in Nebraska generally continues to the age of 19 years old. It is common for child support to continue even when the child is living out of the home, such as when a child is living in the dorms at college but the parent is still helping support the child. That being said, the payor can ask for child support to be terminated if the child is now financially independent and the parent is not using the child support for the support of the child. This can be done through a number of methods including a motion for an accounting or a motion to terminate child support.
